I don't know if they are natural or not, and although I do not see anything artificial in that photo (I don't see any stairs, for examplw, could you point it to me?) I do not have any idea to explain the presence of those "paths".

Btw don't tell me that the PATHS or water-beds whatever they are, (I'd say PATHS for many reasons, no water-creature left at bottom, very dry and neat, even some stairs are still visible) on West Valley, on the right on the photo (panorama PIA10214) are natural, for, I wouldn't believe anyone, degree or triple science degree, nasa or asda, who would try to prove by A=B the opposite to me.
I see the "paths", what I do not see is the "stairs". I can make one more exception and see your video, if you tell me where I can find it, I have looked in this thread but was unable to see it, maybe I overlooked that post.

It shows if we edit the location images of where they are.(edit in slightly more light just, then you can see them). I know you don't like videos but you can check my latest which got a lot blurred -btw- at many points, but the paths as I call them came out OK. Just the pink text on that pic is sadly unreadable.(last edit of the series I think) If I have this edit ready on photobucket I'll transfer it to here, not sure.
The snow was much more to the north, near the north pole, and one theory is that the water ice on the south pole, when changes from ice to vapour, its taken by the atmospheric currents to the north pole, where it is deposited, probably as snow.
Unless they are dried canals/ or, kept as such, perhaps new, to welcome(as: receive) expected fluid (water as our scientists say), and indeed, since the photo was taken, it "SNOWED" on Mars! as we were told (recently,whether it's snow as we know it or not).
I do not have a real explanation for the paths, the only possibility I see is that they are just wider spaces between the slab-like rocks (the "flagging" ).
What's your geological explanation for them to be natural?

The problem with YouTube and other video hosting sites is that they convert the video to a low quality, 320x240 Flash video. The video we see on YouTube is slightly resized to hide the fact that the compression has destroyed some data from the video.

I've just been rewatching my 2 recent vids on my own PC video folder, copied from Window Movie Maker and it was fine, yet, when I transfer the same work onto YouTube it just 'eats' a lot of valuable work.
An e-friend has had the same problem.
It's a shame because when you know tou HAVE something it gets frustrating. I know NO video-making place that lets us do what we want to really do, = showing what we really see, there's always a problem.
I am interested, I am always interested in what other people think, specially when they have an opinion that is not the same as my own.
YET if you are really interested in these 'paths' and all that exists around them, we could perhaps use another media to work on it.
I know what you mean with the water action, I will try to find some information about the topography of that area.
Perhaps you know, when water acts as a big force it can wreck a lot of the place where it 'storms-flows' into, and perhaps it creates stages, resulting in a 'stairs' in this case. We can see this result on earth too, my problem there is lack of data on topography. Is there a difference of altitude, even slight?
Yes, not finding the right words is very frustrating, specially when we are sure that we know them.
(I'm sorry I know these words in French, probably in PT it'll be similar: "denivelation", means the level of the ground goes down, 'inclination' is the best I can find or, 'declination'...it's annoying when we can't say what we wish in another language!)
Yes, having the tools and the knowledge to use them helps, but it may also take us along a wrong path, and that is one of the reasons I like to see everyone's opinions, I know that my lack of imagination may prevent me from creating a connection between two facts that may help get to the truth.
From readings here I see you now have an excellent NASA tool to edit, + you have a lot of knowledge, but tshh tshh, that only helps, doesn't bring all the answers!
Thanks.
TC ArMaP,
Also when you have a moment I'd like to give you another reference,
All the best to you and your People around you.
